BRITANNIA
“CANARY MURDER CASE” Few real detectives have attained to prominence of many sleuths whose existences have been contained between the covers of a book. The latest edition to these great; sleuths of fictional history is Philo Vance, the detective character in S. S. Van Dine’s series of murder stories, and Vance has been given a new reality with the creation of a moving picture from the story, “The Canary Murder Case," which has had such a wide reading during the past year. Philo Vance is an amateur detective whose interest in crime brings about the solutions of the apparently baffling killings in “The Benson Murder Case," and “The Canary Murder Case,” the all-talking picture which the Britannia Theatre, Three Lamps, is showing as their first talkie attraction.
The new programme also includes a number of short talkie featurettes.
